MATCH SUMMARY
Villa contain Liverpool at Anfield to a single goal for the first time in five seasons but they are defeated all the same. Worse still defeat comes from a disputed goal. Despite Villa’s defeat to the reigning champions and leaders it is no change at the bottom as Dick Taylor’s side remains 19th and four points above the relegation places.

Referee: John Thacker | 🏴 | Lincoln, 1962-1973 🆘
🆘 A woeful performance that would become, and still remains, all too common at Anfield. Thacker awards a goal despite it being offside, oh and a handball. Pitiful.
